Marcelo

Marcelo, 51, is very friendly and hardworking. He lives with his wife and their children. He works very hard on his own plot of land, where he grows corn. His products are of great quality, and his harvest will sell at the various markets near to his home.

Marcelo is asking for a loan amounting to 22,000 PHP (Philippines pesos) to count on the money he needs to invest in agricultural supplies like pesticides and fertilizers, manure, seeds and other things that he needs for planting crops.

He is anxious to increase his sales to be able to receive improved earnings and provide his family with financial stability.
